I consider myself a descent photographer, I love nothing more than being out in the elements with my camera. At times my photography borders on excessive. I don't have the very best equipment, and I don't have photo shop software in order to help when a photo shoot goes bad. I have two lenses, tripod, and a remote control and a 2 GB memory card .. it will hold 482 fine photos. My Sony DSLR A -100 was a gift from my wife, and I thank her everytime a photo comes out well .
Photographing anything takes a lot of thought process. I try to tell a story, my camera is my pad and pencil, and my photo is the culmination of my hard work.
I do not take photos just to take them, in my mind everything has to be right. Every photo I shoot are memories that my family and friends can enjoy together long after I leave . Every photo I shoot means something, every photo I shoot is a celebration of life.
I have special places throughout the valley with wonderful vantage points. Sometimes you have to be above it all to see everything. Sometimes you have to be on the roads less traveled away for the city lights in order to take advantage of a photographic opportunity. It really isn't important in what direction I go, the experience is what drives me.
Recently I have been after a lightning shot on a hill over looking Phoenix, my hometown. I have always wanted a photo from that vantage point. Twice I have set up a mini camp and waited for the right condition, and a storm to roll across the valley floor. I have had descent photos from this location but still not completely satisfied.
Wish me luck
